Pinterest Sunday: Fabric Book Covers

I have decided
that Sundays will now be Pinterest days. What does that mean? It means every
Sunday I’ll be sharing a bookish craft with you all that I found on Pinterest.

Obviously, none of
these craft ideas were created by me, and I’ll give the creator the credit he
or she deserves. I just want to share some cool and fun—and maybe even new—craft
ideas with you. And maybe I’ll even scrounge up the willpower to actually do
the craft one day. Who knows?

The craft I want
to share today was posted by Marelize over at Stitch
by Stitch. This fabric book cover is something I’ve been wanting to do for
a long time and it looks easy to do. As you can see in the picture below:

I always want to
take a book with me, but I’m afraid of injuring my books, especially paperbacks.
While this type of fabric book cover wouldn’t work for paperbacks, it would
definitely allow me to take my hardback books around campus so I can read
between classes or work. I have some fabric I could use to make this, I just
need to get on it.

I like the way
these look, but I think I may approach the creation a little differently. I don’t
plan on using anything but thread and fabric. Mostly because I don’t have an
iron or know what that other stuff she mentions is.

If you can think
of any other cool book cover ideas I should mull over making, you should let me
know.

What do you guys
think? Yay? Nay? Maybe? Sound off in the comments.
